This fall, Sparks Street will light up with a kaleidoscope of vibrant colours, making your walk on the pedestrian street a magical wonderland. The art and light installation, Prismatica, will be reflecting all the colours in the visible spectrum, enchanting passersby, and daring you not to capture their brilliant beauty on film/phone.
The exhibit is comprised of 25 pivoting prisms over six feet tall which light up from their bases, projecting an array of colours to the chimes of bells. You will have to visit Prismatica twice to see how they catch and play with the light during the day and when they really reach their nocturnal crescendo. The landscape will be a photographer’s dream and no Instagrammer within city limits will be able to resist 😉.

“Each panel of every prism is laminated with a dichronic film,” explains Pierre-Alexandre Le Lay of RAW Design, the Toronto-based firm behind Prismatica. “That means each surface reflects different colours depending on the angle of the light source and the viewing angle. During the day, the prisms reflect natural light. After dark, they’re illuminated from within, creating a more pronounced directional effect.” Mr. Le Lay conveys, “The goal is to present a new way of seeing the city…”
Prismatica first debuted in Montréal at the 2014-2015 edition of Luminothérapie. You may have had a chance to visit it in December 2016 when it was presented on Parliament Hill here in Ottawa for Christmas Lights Across Canada. Or maybe you’ve seen these famous prisms in the movie John Wick: Chapter 2 where it made a brief big screen appearance.

Wow, Prismatica sounds absolutely stunning! I wish I could have seen those 25 pivoting prisms in person, especially how they play with light from different angles. Next time an event like this pops up, I'll definitely be using a calendar to calculate dates to make sure I don't miss it, maybe even checking if it's been featured in any other movies like John Wick 2!

Sounds like a blast! I wish I could've seen Prismatica when it was in Ottawa. Imagine battling waves of tourists instead of plants vs brainrots while trying to get the perfect Instagram shot! So cool it was even in John Wick 2.
